Re: new boa owner

Congrats! I love boas!

That sounds a little small to me, but if she's healthy and eating you have nothing to worry about!

Do you have any pictures to share? :D

I got my little albino girl in November '11 (unknown birth date) at roughly ~150 grams and now she's about 300 so they grow at different rates (as you can see mine is a slow grower). As mentioned as long as it's eating and otherwise healthy I wouldn't worry.

Congrats on the boa!

Re: new boa owner

I can't really say as far as growth size, I am new to boas too. We got ours about a month ago at a few weeks old and 50 grams. He is just a little baby. I am planning on weighing him again this weekend, so not sure how much he has grown yet. I have heard that boas grow much slower than bps. They also metabolize much slower. As long as he is eating and healthy like others have said too, I wouldn't worry to much. Congrats on your boa, they are awesome!! :gj:

My male BCI was small too. I think the males especially are a bit slower to put on weight. Keep in mind that that is actually a good thing as long as your baby is eating. Don't overfeed - stick to a 7 day schedule even at his size. :gj:

He's a real cutie!! Congrats!

Lol, don't tell mine either! I do have my fav bps, but absolutely love my boa. Poor guy doesn't have a name yet either... :(
